Ex-Governor Pierce is congratulated
by his newspaper friends upon his re
turn to the profession, where they fee
that he is more at home, and where th'
honors he can earn will be more surely
paid than the rewards earned in officia
life. AS governor of Dakota he ha.
been fortunate in gaining the respect Of
the whole territory, and retires with the
undisputed reputation of having been as
capable and useful chief executive as
ever the federal government gave a ter
ritory. But, after all, he is at home
now, in happier position, where he
will continue friend to Dakota, and an
effective worker for its interes;s.-Bis-

The following letter recently appear.
ing in the st. Louis Mining News, from
gentleman prominent in Deadwood
mining circles fairly accounts for the
failure of a certain st Louis company to
work valuable gold property in this
vicinity with profit:
DEADwoOD n. T., Jan. %, 1887.
To the Editor Of the Mining News:
In looking over your interesting paper
| see only few items or mention Of the
Black Hills mines The reason, | sup
pose, is because the mining interests
owned by st. Louis people are chiefly in
Montana and Colorado. Although the
Black Hills is onIy a small place com
pared with the whole of Montana or
Colorado, still think there is no equal
area in either Montana or Colorado that
presents SO many opportunities for safe
mining investments as the Black Hills.
Our resources are varied, but the
principle producing mines are gold and
silver. | don't know Of many proper
ties in the Hills in which st. Louis peo-
Pile are interested. ! believe they are
interested in some tin mines in the
Southern Hills and gold property or
two III the same locality.
One mine in this section, owned by st
Louis capitalists, has been a failure so
far from mismanagement and lack OF
proper facilities brought about by the
property being over-estimated in the
first place, and the expected dividends
being delayed longer than anticipated
| have no doubt if the company put up
enough money at first to secure the
proper facilities, such as water-rights
bitches, etc, as TO enable them to put
the mill at the mine, instead of running
the ore by tramway for a mile to a
stream that afforded only an insufficient
supply of water for the patched up mill
of theirs, the property would be on 9
paying basis to-day. 1t was economy
misapplied that quieted this enterprise
The bullion output Of the Black Hin
is over $3.50 900 per month, not includ
ing the value of the ore shipped tc
Omaha and other places for reduction
Next summer on the completion of the
Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Vale,
railroad to Deadwood | expect the Hill,
output of bullion will be greatly increas
ed. This railroad company is now
making preparations for the extendin,
from Rapid City, the present terminus
to Deadwood, distance of so miles
The road bed is to be ready for trac l
laying before July 1st Of this year.
In connection with this railroad. tn,
facilities it will afford for shipping or,
and machinery, and the opportunity 70,
capitalists to visit this section and in
spect mining properties, the outlook il
exceedingly bright for the future.

THURMAN Again.

The president may soon have an op'
portunity Of gratifying large number
Of the democrats of the country, if not
all citizens, irrespective Of party, who
admire ability, sturdy honesty and true
craftsmanship. A reorganization Of the
cabinet is believed TO be contemplated.
One at least and possibly several places
may become vacant. Should there be
but one vacancy, and that in the office
Of the secretary Of the treasury, there
are strong reasons why it should be
filled by AssistantSecr Fairchild. If
there are other places vacant the presi-
dent would do a graceful and worthy
thing by rendering one ofthem to Allen
g. Thurman. 1t is said that his orig inal
intention was to invite Mr.. Thurman to
the cabinet, but that certain Ohio dem
ocrats, to their lasting shame be it said,
80 prejudiced him against the gallant
old statesman through lying and malici-
ous stories concerning the latter's per
sonal habits, that he did not further
consider Mr.. Thurman's name. Now,
after time has demonstrated the falsity
Of the charges and the disappointment
Of the country at the apparent sighting
Of Mr.. Thurman, he can prove his conf
dence in him by carrying out his prima-
ry intentions and will perform one OF
the most popular acts Of his administra-
tion by inviting "the noblest Roman OF
them all" TO cabinet position, should
the opportunity arise.-St. Paul Globe

A special from De Smet this morning
announces that the leaders of the state
movement are making active arrange
ments to put their government into
operation in the spring. While we do
not give much credit to these rumors,
they show the unrest of the people and
the importance Of congpess taking some
steps to meet their just demands. OF
course the nation need feel no uneasi-
ness as to any forcible resistance to law,
but it cannot afford even days diff
Guilty with people who are acknow-
ledged to have a real grievance and just
grounds for bitterness. BY the way,
does it occur to our friends in South
Dakota that the territory as a whole has
never yet made demand on congress,
except for division, through the legis-
lature. which action is questioned as not
refiecting the views of the whole peo-
pie? 1t is pretty near time for united
action if anything is to be accomplished,
